SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS Your master’s can be more affordable than ever with our fellowships and scholarships. Many of our graduate programs offer full- or partial-tuition fellowships which link graduate study with unparalleled, onsite professional experience. These highly competitive placements help to enrich your professional qualifications. All applicants (excluding fellowship recipients and Double Warrior scholarship recipients) are automatically considered for the Dean Scholarship, which is awarded based on merit and need. For Merrimack alumni, the Double Warrior Scholarship automatically saves up to 25% off graduate tuition for most programs. These scholarships cannot be combined with a fellowship. For more information visit merrimack.edu/save.
